Mackinac 1895: Designing Historical Type

What does making a historical typeface entail? Mia Cinelli, an artist, designer, and 2019 Mackinac Island Artist In Residence, will present the research and process of designing Mackinac 1895—a typeface inspired by 1890s handwriting from Mackinac Island. Learn about how history-inspired type lives in a contemporary context, the details of designing a script, and why visual inflection matters.
